Oh, and if you do decide to go with Maaco, I hear they aren't too bad if you do the prep work yourself. So I would sand everything down, prime it and such, and mask off everything you don't want painted, then take it to them. From what I hear the painting part itself is actually pretty good...
Which is ghetto, but it works. ;)
As far as a pearl white, after looking at Toyotareference.com, I personally like these two colors:
Diamond white pearl (051)
Frosted white pearl (064)
051 was actually an available color for the MK3.
Edit: I'm a sucker for pearl. :)

Are you going to wetsand and buff it with buffing compound? I believe it will look alot better after you do that. Remember to also remember that you need to take your time when doing this step, because this will ultimately affect how well your paint looks.

What I always would do is drive it around til' it gets to operating temp, then pull over and shut the car off. Pop the hood and if your cap is bad/is going bad, you should hear a hissing sound right at the cap.

Firstly, my passion came from the fact that I had nothing to really call my own, so when I got the N/A, it was a great chance for me to actually own something that meant something to me, and it was something I could call my own and be proud for. I spent damn near every dollar of my money on it...
Fuckin' A, I'm sick of these horrible drivers as of late.
1) My car was hit a month or so ago
2) My other friends Supra (angrydrone) was backed up into in front of my house a few weeks ago
3) My mom got in a wreck last week in a rain storm
Seriously, the world is going to hell!
I'll be using it on a catback, so it should work the same? I was thinking the aerosol would be alot easier to use though.

I have a question about high temp paint. I'll be buying an exhaust soon, and it needs some new high temp paint on the piping. I'm guessing the 1000* paint would work just fine, but how many coats would be good?
